Lee Grant

I thought she was dead. She's almost 93. Why do we never hear about her?

And btw, did she take her name from the 2 Civil War generals?

I never realized Dinah Manoff was her daughter. Dinah’s son (Lee’s grandson) died in a car crash last year at age 20 on his way back to college in Washington State. Looked like a great kid. Now I’m really bummed at how unfair life is.

She lost an actor's prime years due to the blacklist. By the time she made a comeback in Peyton Place, she was almost 40. So the career she managed to have since then is quite remarkable.

because of that, she was the number one choice of Aaron Spelling to play Alexis on Dynasty. But Lee said no

Here she is playing an "Alexis" type on the mini-series soap "Bare Essence" where she interacts with Linda Evans!

Imagine what they would be like as Alexis and Krystle (instead of Joan Collins)

Lee Grant was always one of my favorites! Smart smart smart, political, progressive. I always loved her as an actress to have seen her work from behind the camera has been equally wonderful. She has inspired new generations of women to direct, she and Penny Marshall really revolutionized film making.

Miss Joan Hackett supposedly would add a few years to her age so that she'd look great for her "age". I absolutely love that the earrings she wore to the Oscars were Christmas ornaments she re-purposed .

Adding years to your age seems so weird, but maybe they did it to start out earlier and seem more mature from the get go? If Lee Grant really is in her 90's, she has to be the healthiest, most active 90-something I've ever seen in my life. The face work is horrifying, but I've seen 20-somethings that are more sluggish than she is.

Eva Marie Saint is probably the best looking celebrity that’s 90ish. If she’s had work it’s been minimal. Wouldn’t say Lee looks horrifying but has that obvious plastic surgery look. Still thinks she’s great.

Cut some slack for Lee. She's in her 90's and like almost all actresses in Hollywood she's had facial plastic surgery. With or without it she's not going to look sparkling young anymore. She look okay for her age and has survived.

Grant admits to having a face lift at like 30.

She always had a thing about her age because she felt like she lost the prime years of an actress' career because of being blacklisted. She bounce back pretty well from the blacklisting and did a number of good films in the 70s.

One of her problems though was she had a husband who was constantly trying to direct and make his own films so she had to take lots of bad movies for because the needed the money.

(Although those bad films are some of the ones on DL that we like the most: Omen 2, Airport 1977, Valley of the Dolls.........and of course The Swarm.)
